Chapter 160 Flying

The California militia retreated, and under Perkins' leadership, cursed and cursed the group of Washington officials who were looking for trouble while walking... Together with you, the big masters, were idle and having fun in the winter, and were fooling friends across thousands of miles? It's winter, winter! A large group of people waited in such a icy and snowy environment for more than a week. Is it fun? Governor Perkins was even more "reliable" for countless times: he must ask Washington and the White House for an explanation. In response, Perkins of course agreed, not firing at the group of big men who really hold the power of the United States on Capitol Hill, but just scattering at the White House.

But Perkins and his men didn't know that just as they left Reno, the future "divorce capital" with teased anger, a train was slowly driving along the railway into the Sierra Nevada Mountains as if they had Alzheimer's disease.

...

Chen Lanbin is on this train.

Special car.

Very rare.

Since entering the territory of the United States of America, Minister Chen has never enjoyed such treatment... When they travel, they would be extremely impressed if they just pack a car for the sky, but now the entire train belongs to them. If this situation is usually done, it will definitely make people feel very happy. Unfortunately, Chen Lanbin is not in the mood at all.

"Sir, are you really going to persuade those rioters to surrender?" Geng Yi asked Chen Lanbin worriedly in the special carriage of the Chinese minister.

"What can we do if we don't persuade the surrender? Now, can we still go back?" Chen Lanbin sighed and asked with a wry smile. Originally, he was indeed thinking of persuading those compatriots who caused chaos as a Chinese official. The purpose is actually very simple, to save those few people as much as possible...

After all, everyone is the victim. You Americans bully the Chinese, can't you allow the Chinese to resist? Then why did you launch a war of independence? Just let the British continue to bully you? But because of the news from the US government, he didn't know much, and he thought that a group of Chinese workers had caused trouble in Colorado, fought several fights with the Americans, and then destroyed the Pacific Railway, and clamored to "take back" all the fruits of the Chinese workers' labor on the Pacific Railway.

However, after taking the train to the west, after stopping for a while in Xia Yan, he realized that he had underestimated those guys... As diplomats, they always had more scrupulousness, especially diplomats often acted as intelligence officers, and even more so. Although the Qing government was extremely corrupt at this time, most of the diplomats sent were officials who were unsatisfied in the officialdom and did not realize this. If they were so honest that they were out of bounds, the Qing government would not be so stupid. Do they really don’t know how inferior they were? Send a honest official to leak out all their foundation? That big guy can’t live a life?

Therefore, knowing that Americans cannot tell themselves everything, and even hide some of the truth, Chen Lanbin was prepared for it: he hired two white people.

Of course, these two white men were not sent out by him to reconnaise anything. The US government is not a fool. He knew that other forces might send people to Colorado for reconnaissance, so he would naturally make various preventions... In fact, Chen Lanbin had previously sent people to Colorado to investigate the truth of the matter, but only investigated that Denver Chinese workers were besieged by thousands of white men, suffered heavy losses, and then there was no information. He sent people there, but was told by the railway company that the railway had a major fault and was blocked!

The Chinese workers went to the west and threatened to destroy the Pacific Railway. He knew from two Chinese who were temporarily called to translate Chinese... When it comes to this, they rarely talked about the depression of Americans: such a big government can't find a Chinese person. In order to translate the few lines of words left by Guo Jinzhang and others on the Jindao Ding Monument, they had to ask for help from Chinese... Can this not alarm the Chinese minister? After all, there were only a few Chinese people in Washington at this time, right? Of course, this is not the most depressing. What makes them most depressed is that they obviously disrupted those sentences and even asked someone to translate them, but Chen Lanbin quickly figured out the content of these things and quickly came to the State Council.

Of course, these are all things in the past. Chen Lanbin was so cautious that he hired two white men and got out of the car before he arrived at Cheyenne. Then, he pretended to be in poor health and dragged the time, and let the two white men ride horses and arrive at Cheyenne first... Cheyenne is very close to Denver, so when he arrived, he learned a lot from these two white men.

The anti-Chinese incident was sentenced to hang, bombing the police station, killing Denver, capturing militia, Gannison negotiations, Pueblo massacre... all kinds of incidents were shocked and shocked him and his followers.

Can Chinese people do this?

Haven’t everyone been bullied all the time? They have to bear the white people’s eyes everywhere. But now, those Chinese workers have not only resisted, but are also so cruel and so ruthless...

Chen Lanbin actually felt very happy!

But that was only a short while. After he had fun, he immediately knew that his career might be a little troublesome.

Those Chinese workers could not easily accept his persuasion, and the US government would not easily let those compatriots go. At this point, both sides would almost never die, especially those of his compatriots. Once they surrendered, they would inevitably be killed from the American standpoint. Even if they were not executed, they would definitely be imprisoned in prison for serious offenders. Then, in less than a few months, these compatriots would be persecuted to death for various reasons... These incompatriots who were not well-informed in the Qing Dynasty were skilled in this technique.

But he was just watching these fierce compatriots die? No, definitely not...... He originally planned to save these Chinese workers as much as possible, and it would be better to save a few people back to the Qing Dynasty. Because in his opinion, he could be tangled with Americans on the land of the United States for so long with a few poor Chinese workers. He would definitely have some ability. If he could save the Qing Dynasty and give it to the court for training, it would inevitably be a rare talent. The most important point is that these Chinese workers would not be afraid of foreigners, which is the most important point. But these ideas can only be realized if the Chinese workers made a "small" incident. Now...

"Who thought that those rioters had done so many things? If this were placed in our Qing Dynasty, wouldn't they be executed directly?" Geng Yi also sighed bitterly. As the embassy counselor, he believed that he was knowledgeable, but after he actually took the train, he realized how big a fissure his compatriots had been stabbed... He massacred three thousand white militiamen and burned several cities. This kind of crime was also a great crime even if it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, let alone a foreign country like the United States?

"It's impossible not to be bullied, how could those guys do such behavior? But..." But it's really not easy to get those Americans to this point. Chen Lanbin thought secretly again, and felt a little proud in his heart.

"Sir, those guys have done so many things, what should we do?" Geng Yi also knew Chen Lanbin's plan. He had no objection to this at first. Although it was a little troublesome, it would be worth it if he could find a group of guys who were not afraid of foreigners and had a certain understanding of foreigners to return to the Qing Dynasty to serve the country. But now this matter is obviously much worse than they expected, and it would be obviously unrealistic to do it according to the original idea.

"And I think these Americans may not be making any good ideas if they ask us to come." After thinking about it, Geng Yi said again.

"Of course." Chen Lanbin nodded. If it were as he had thought before, although the Chinese workers resisted, they did not cause any irreparable consequences. In order to avoid greater losses, such as the paralysis of the Pacific Railway, the Americans agreed to his request and persuaded the Chinese workers to surrender. This is understandable. However, in this case, the Americans still agreed to their request, and the minds of these foreigners might be a little distorted... Ten is to use his name to deceive those compatriots and then kill them.

"What should we do?" Geng Yi asked again. Being a diplomat for the Qing Dynasty is not that easy. The guys in the court are all a group of unreasonable idiots... If you are tough abroad, they say you are causing trouble for the court; if you are soft abroad, they say you have lost the face of the court and lost the court's dignity. Those guys ignore this so-called diplomacy is actually a manifestation of the national strength... You are just a group of turtle eggs. How can we, those who go out, serve us? But no matter how resentment is, it is useless. Those guys in the court will not pay attention to you at all, they only know that

The same thing for the Tao: If you do things, you will look down on you. No matter what the actual situation is, you have to do things well. If you do it well, they have the vision and promote you right; if you don’t do it well, you are not good at it, you are embarrassed by the court and the Qing Dynasty, and you will be punished for your crimes. And now they are facing such a difficult thing: if you save those compatriots, whether they can be saved or not, they will definitely get involved in the Americans. Once it spreads, the Americans will definitely put pressure on the court; and if they are not saved and sent back to the country, those so-called righteous gentlemen will definitely impeach them and humiliate the country's system. Anyway, it is not pleasing to the inside and outside.

"What else can I do?" Chen Lanbin smiled bitterly, "When things are about to come, can I turn back if I only take one step at a time?"

...

At the same time, just when Chen Lanbin and Geng Yi were speechless and didn't know how to face the upcoming situation, a group of white people were also having a discussion in another front carriage.

"Are you really sure that the Chinese minister will agree to our request to persuade those Chinese to surrender?"

The one who started the conversation was Jeremiah Black, a US State Department official... Of course, it was not worth the secretary of state to go to the secretariat of a small matter of accompanying the Chinese minister to persuade a group of criminals to surrender, so Eiffelt chose him. This is not a good job. Not only did you have to face the legendary cruel and cunning Chinese, but you also have to run thousands of miles. You may even encounter traps set by the Chinese along the railway in the middle... So Jeremiah Black was not intended to come. Unfortunately, facing the forced orders of the Secretary of State, as a subordinate, he had to come. After all, it is not easy to be an administrative official these days, especially an official of his level, which is even more difficult. And it is not just Eiffelt sent him, but House Speaker James Brian also sent one of his confidant subordinates, Dean Eagleberg...

This is not an ordinary person. You know, the Speaker of the House is said to be the next Secretary of State, who holds the coquettish title of the most famous Republican leader. If this is true, then James Brian will definitely be an extremely powerful secretary of state in the future, at least stronger than his current immediate boss Everett. In that case, if he can establish a good relationship with his confidants, please introduce himself to Brian occasionally, then... So, Jeremiah is a little lucky to have received this task. Of course, in front of senior officials of the State Department and "significant" such as the Speaker of the House, the remote Colorado, a fat man who acts as a "witness" in this team is not very prominent, City Councilor? What is that? "Why am I so unlucky? Why is it me?"

Of course Angelo knew that the people who were traveling looked down on him, but he had no time to pay attention to these things. He now regretted and wanted to die... He didn't understand why it was himself again, why did he face those Chinese again? Do those guys think that the Chinese are a group of kind-hearted old men? Those who are obviously a group of outlaws who kill without blinking, okay?

"Mayor? Haha," Sitting in a corner of the carriage, Angelo grinned with self-deprecating. The State Council sent someone to accompany the Chinese minister to persuade the Chinese to surrender... This is a secret mission. After the Chinese retreated for no reason, they crawled back from a hole. The lieutenant governor, who had just taken over as acting governor, found him and said that he was the one who had the most contact with Chinese people in Denver so far, and it was also possible that the entire United States of America had the most contact with those Chinese. Therefore, in order to complete this task successfully, he would better go with him and by the way, he also allowed his next mayor of Denver... Yes, in the United States, such political transactions are not allowed, and the mayor is freely elected by the citizens, and it is impossible to be designated by a governor or an acting governor. But Denver is very messy now, and it is repaired.

Colorado was in chaos. In addition, he took decisive measures when the Chinese were about to launch an attack on Denver, which allowed Denver to avoid terrible fates like Pueblo, Colorado Prince, Aurora, and Lakewood. He had great popularity in the heart of Denver City. This popularity was even higher than the Lieutenant Governor who ran away without a trace in the face of difficulties. If he had started running at that time, it might not be impossible for him to be elected as governor. But it was obvious that the Lieutenant Governor's group obviously discovered his bad situation and actually asked him to participate in the completion of this task... This was clearly to let him die! Even if he didn't die on this mission, the Lieutenant Governor's group would definitely try every means to hit his prestige. When he came back, many things would probably change.

But even if you know that this is the use? Politics is never as simple as it appears. So what if the voters like you? Those rich people don’t like you, you are still nothing. And he is a mere city councillor. In the face of those political forces headed by the lieutenant governor, no matter how favorable it is, he can only be obedient. Otherwise, let alone being elected as governor, there is no chance to even be the mayor, and maybe even business will not go on. This is reality.

"Mr. Angelo!"

The "bang-boom" sound echoed intermittently in my ears. Angelo was still thinking about his own experience, but unexpectedly a voice suddenly rang in his ears. He hurriedly raised his head, and he saw the State Council official who had been high above and always looked down at him with a downward look.

"You have something to do?" The Lieutenant Governor himself can't deal with it, and the rich people in the state can't deal with it themselves. They asked themselves to die, and they had to come... Well, there are State Council officials, the envoy of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Chinese minister. The possibility of life-threatening this task should not be high, but this still shows his weakness. But then again, what are the abilities of you, a small official of the State Council, have you shown off in front of me? You still look down on me? Do you think I look down on you? Do you have to care about me? So, facing Jeremiah Black, Angelo just maintained her superficial politeness, and her tone was a little ignorant.

"Angelo 'Congressman', you are the one who knows the most about the Chinese in our industry. I wonder if you have any opinions on what I asked just now?" Jeremiah was very dissatisfied with Angelo's attitude. Isn't he just a councillor in a remote state? Have you ever been to Washington and seen what New York looks like? A country bumpkin, more old-fashioned than ordinary citizens in Washington, so why are you arrogant?

"What question is? What are you asking?" Angelo asked indifferently.

"Mr. Black is asking whether the Chinese ambassador would agree to help us persuade the Chinese to surrender. After all, they must have known something, and they should know that we cannot let those Chinese people go...even if they surrender." Dean Eagleberg smiled. He also looked down on Angelo, but he still looked down on Jeremiah. Because he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the confidant of the Republican leader, he will definitely enter the House of Representatives, or even the Senate in the future. Maybe he will enter the cabinet in a few years. With such a future, how can he take two "little people" seriously? Therefore, the performance between the two people in front of him only makes him feel funny.

"I don't know this. What do you think?" Angelo was not Bai Rao's city councillor. When he heard this question, he casually asked and asked back.

"Of course I will help," Jeremiah smiled. "The Chinese people are not in good condition in the United States now. They are almost rejected throughout the United States. The Chinese minister has already gone to the State Department to protest a lot for this matter. So, as long as we tell him that he will work hard to change this phenomenon, he will definitely give up the thugs for more Chinese living in the United States."

"It makes sense, I think so too." Dean Eagleberg smiled.

"It's a pity that we won't do anything then, right?" Angelo asked again.

"Of course." Jeremiah smiled and nodded, "Of course we can't offend white people for a group of Chinese."

"But you never thought about what if more Chinese people join the ranks of resistance?" Angelo asked in a deep voice.

“…then destroy them.”

"wipe out……"
